Chairman PRCS' Message on Quaid-e-Azam Day
25 December, 2024
Happy Quaid’s Day!
"As we celebrate the birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founding father of Pakistan and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, I extend my heartiest greetings to all fellow Pakistanis. This day reminds us of the Quaid’s remarkable vision, steadfast determination, and firm belief in the values of unity, faith, and discipline. Quaid-e-Azam’s dedication to humanity and social justice laid the foundation for the Pakistan Red Crescent Society, the leading humanitarian organization of the country committed to serving the vulnerable and promoting the welfare of all. His legacy inspires us to carry forward his mission with compassion and integrity, ensuring that our humanitarian efforts reach every corner of the nation. On this significant occasion, let us renew our pledge to uphold the ideals of the Quaid and work tirelessly towards building a strong, united, and prosperous Pakistan. Together, we can honour his vision and contribute to the betterment of our society."
